Editing Dark ride (section)

{{Main article|Enclosed roller coaster}}
While some roller coasters may be indoors, simply enclosing a roller coaster does not make it a dark ride.  Dark coasters are roller coasters that feature heavily themed layouts, special effects (such as animated characters, fire, smoke, and sound/lighting effects), and a dark ride portion that abruptly transitions into a roller coaster-style layout with heavily banked turns, sharp turns, steep drops, and helices. Some of them include backward motion, and many have launch mechanisms rather than lifts. Examples include:

*[[Flight of Fear]] at [[Kings Island]] and [[Kings Dominion]]
*[[Blazing Fury]] at [[Dollywood]]
*[[Revenge of the Mummy]] at many of the [[Universal Destinations & Experiences]] (themed to [[The Mummy (Universal film franchise)|The Mummy]] film franchise, featuring a launch from the dark ride section into the coaster section)
*[[Seven Dwarfs Mine Train]] at the [[Magic Kingdom]] and [[Shanghai Disneyland]]
*[[Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster]] at [[Warner Bros. Movie World]] (a [[wild mouse roller coaster]] with a ghost-train section, vertical lift and backwards drop)
*[[Space Mountain]] at [[Disney World]], [[Disneyland|Disneyland Park]], [[Magic Kingdom]], [[Tokyo Disneyland]], and [[Hong Kong Disneyland]]
*[[Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain]] at [[Disneyland Park (Paris)]]
*[[Verbolten]] at [[Busch Gardens Williamsburg]] (themed to an escape from the haunted Bavarian Black Forest, with a free-fall track section)
*[[Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind]] at [[EPCOT]]

[[Test Track]] at [[Epcot]], [[Journey to the Center of the Earth (attraction)|Journey to the Center of the Earth]] at [[Tokyo DisneySea]], and [[Radiator Springs Racers]] at [[Disney California Adventure]] each use a [[slot car]] track rather than that of a roller coaster, but they provide a similar pairing of dark ride scenes with a high-speed thrill ride.

[[Saw – The Ride]] at [[Thorpe Park]] features an enclosed dark section with strobe lighting and special effects, before the car enters the outdoor section of the ride.
